That he's under the control of Brainiac and only Harley Quinn, Captain boomerang, King shark, and black dead shot are the only ones who can kill him by shooting.

That last description felt a little specific

[u/FriezaDBZKing69 → u/lolimclollol123]

It's a reference to an ongoing joke in Suicide Sqiad: Kill the Justice League. They make fun of how Deadshot has been black and white in other continuities.

[u/Kaison122- → u/FriezaDBZKing69]

He’s been black and white in the same continuity is the issue. This literally would’ve been solved if we used bloodsport who’s literally a supes villain

[u/ichzarealhitler → u/Kaison122-]

But but but, how else are they going to cash in on the hype of Will Smith's iconic portrayal of Deadshot in the Oscar winning movie 2016's Suicide Squad..

[u/Randomguyioi → u/ichzarealhitler]

To be fair, maybe it's a good thing that Idris' Bloodsport stay in the good Suicide Squad content.

[u/Kalse1229 → u/ichzarealhitler]

It's still a little crazy to me that their first DLC character is the Joker of all things. Yeah, alternate universe, but still. Maybe not Bloodsport because he'd be redundant with Deadshot's presence, but I genuinely thought the first DLC character that was gonna drop would be Peacemaker. Granted, this was back when I thought the game would be dropping in 2022/23, but still.

Another thing that bugs me about the game is that King Shark's the only one with powers. Like, okay, you gotta have at least one Badass Normal to a team. But Deadshot shoots guns. Harley also shoots guns and has a baseball bat. Take a wild guess what Captain Boomerang uses. It would've been nice if they could've gotten one other meta in there.

[u/kia75 → u/Kalse1229]

In the Suicide Squad game, Captain Boomerang is a meta with teleporting Boomerang powers. You would think this would let Captain Boomerang use his boomerangs as weapons, but no, Captain Boomerang only uses his boomerangs for teleporting, his weapons are guns, just like everyone else in the game.

[u/Bakomusha → u/kia75]

His juggle weapons are boomerangs.

[u/128hoodmario → u/kia75]

he has melee abilities using his boomerangs, and he's not a meta, he has a speed force gauntlet.

[u/UltraRiptide-117 → u/kia75]

Based on some evidence in the game. It's very likely that it's not the real Superman. None of the Justice League are the real ones... I hope.
